Merchant Alger stayed for only one night at Torpoint, and with his companion and the little girl left the next morning.

In addition to the newly added Marx, there is the nobleman from France, Mr. Vincent.

Marx noticed that the little girl who seemed to be alive seemed to be looking for opportunities to talk to him, but Alger was very cautious and there was no chance of conversation between them.

Seeing that the little girl’s behavior is quite abnormal, Marx’s judgment on himself is more and more certain.

Soon, they came to the dock and were close to some of the ships that were connected.

“Come on, get on the boat!” Alger greeted him kindly.

Marx pretended to step on the board and swayed behind Alger to board the biggest ship. Behind him, the young lady, she took the little girl and came up.

Sailing is a very boring thing. Perhaps at first, you will be attracted to the magnificent sea, and look at the distant horizon on the railing of the ship’s side.

But believe me, in a few days you will lose interest in all of this.

Marx is very accustomed to sailing, and he naturally does not look curiously – not to mention, he is here to “work”.

This is a cargo ship, but this time the “goods” is obviously a living thing… No, it is already two now, and Alger has arranged Marx and the little girl in the cargo hold.

The goods here have been unloaded, and in addition to some waterproof tarpaulins, there is a small pile of empty wooden boxes left in the cargo compartment.

Marx and the little girl sat on a wooden box, and the two men who accompanied them “to accompany” them.

This is certainly not to prevent them from escaping – sailing on the ocean and sea, they can run there again – this is just to separate them, lest the little girl say something to Marx that should not be said.

In fact, this little girl knows what they are doing; and she is the first piece of the business.

Marx was bored sitting on a wooden box and spoke a few words with the two men, trying to put some useful information out of it… or, he just wanted to solve the boring.

In some intentional and unintentional conversations and observations, Marx found that they all seemed to be absent-minded. Although the two men looked at them honestly, they did not show their determination to do what they did.

To put it bluntly, they were formerly ordinary caravan crew members. This is the first time this kind of work has been done.

“Sir, I think…” Marx raised his eyes and made himself look innocent. “I want to fan some…”

“Well…child, I mean,” the man looked awkwardly towards the door of the cargo compartment. The blue sky outside and the depression in the cabin formed a stark contrast. “Well… we will help you go home, to You can see your father at the time.”

The other man seemed to have less words. He looked down at the floor with his head and didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Oh – I think so,” Marx nodded said. “Thank you, you are all good people! Mother always said that people who like to help others are good people!”

“…Can you give me some water to drink?”

Marx was chatting with the two men, and suddenly, the little girl sitting not far away spoke up.

This is the first time Marx heard the voice of the little girl, although it was still sweet, but it was a little hoarse – she seemed to be thirsty.

The man who had been silent had taken a kettle from his waist and reached for the little girl.

Marx noticed that the little girl seemed a bit disappointed, and it seems that she mostly wanted to lead a person. But this little trick suddenly fell through.

Marx shook his head and thought that the little girl might be smart when she grew up, and there should be a lot of courage – but it is still far from enough.

Even if you can lead people, you can only open one, which is useless.

“This… Did you drink it?” The little girl suddenly licked her mouth and showed a look of disrespect.

“We are on the boat, except for ‘people’, it belongs to everyone.” The man is frowned, “I don’t want to drink, don’t Hah!”

This man is obviously not as good as the one just said, although there are not many words, it is not because of introversion or honesty.

The little girl was stunned by him and couldn’t help but shrink back and shook.

“Give me a drink too!” Marx said suddenly.

After waiting for a few mouthfuls, the female child reached for the kettle and asked for it. He sipped a lot.

“Save a bit!” The man grabbed the kettle and looked fierce.

“Hey! Don’t scare the child…” Another man pushed him, and he turned his head. “The fresh water on the boat is limited, saving the habit of sailing on the sea.”

“Oh, sorry… I know.” Marx happened to be nodded, indicating that.

Time passed by, and on a long voyage, Marx and the man who spoke better became familiar. And until one day, the other person casually and Marx said a word…

“…it’s time to go to the shore tomorrow,” he said, thinking and adding, “We need to add fresh water and food, and she should also disembark.”

He replied to the little girl, but he didn’t say much, but his expression looked a little worried.

“When can we get to London?” Marx asked with a wink.

“Oh–um, it’s very fast.” The man grinned at him, but how the smile looked stiff.

“I want to drink my mouth, then I should go to bed… Can you tell me a story today?” Marx looked innocent.

The other party helped him to bring the kettle over and handed it to him, saying: “Of course! What do you want to hear today?”

“The story of the ‘sea wizard’ that I fell asleep yesterday, can you continue to talk about it…”

Not long after, Marx shrank in the quilt of the slight tide, listening to the man’s monotonous story falling asleep. On the other side, the little girl child still couldn’t sleep, she leaned sideways and looked at the clear starry sky outside, and the tears in her eyes were helplessly hit the pillow.

“Let’s take a break! Let’s go ashore and relax tomorrow…”

“Be more attention on the shore!”

“Oh… yes, really…”

Both of them also drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then one fell asleep on the deck of the door; the other, the man who had few words, was still sitting on the box, as usual In the middle of the night.

I have to say that Alger’s arrangement is still very cautious – even if it is only two children, but the rules can not be changed, be careful not to be wrong.

However, the kettle that Marx touched was easy to drink.

Not to mention the one who is sleeping, even the man who is on the shift to watch the night, but also collapsed on the shipboard soon.

Marx also kindly reached out and helped him, lest he plopped down and made too much movement.

“Don’t fall asleep?” Marx sneaked up, and moved toward the little girl and asked softly.

The little girl was obviously shocked by him – she didn’t expect that Marx, who had never dealt with her, would actually talk to her in the dead of night.

She jerked back and then looked at the man who had fallen on the boat. At this time, her face was still full of tears.

“what’s your name?”

Marx, who was checking the two men, turned back and showed her a smile at her, and asked questions without a word.

“I am Sarah…you…what did you do?”

“Nothing,” Marx said. “I came to save you, understand?”

“…Do you know?” The female child was astonished.

“Hey! I’m whispering… I do know, but it shouldn’t be as clear as you think,” Marx checked the two men and looked sideways at the door. “You were taken from where they were.” ?”

“Norwich…”

“Knowing the place is like…” Marx nodded, then he said, “You are waiting here – they won’t wake up suddenly, and when I finish things, we can go back.”

“Go back? How come back?” Sarah wondered. “We are still on board…”

“do not worry.”

Marx said, going to the deck with a light hand…

When Marx came back around the circle, he immediately greeted Sarah and walked toward the ship’s side.

On the deck next to the ship’s side, two crew members were stumping there, and not far away, an escape boat outside the ship’s outboard was already placed on the surface of the sea.

“Can you climb the rope?”

Marx tentatively asked, however, the answer he waited for was “not” as it should be by rights.

Fortunately, he is ready.

“Put this, then come with me…” Marx handed a life vest to Sarah, and when she put it on, she took her to the railing.

Sarah thought he would have a good idea! however……

“Remember, don’t make a sound! If the other crew members hear it, we can’t escape!” Marx whispered warmed repeatedly.

“en? Oh…”

“Remember! Don’t call out!”

After swearing again, Marx did not push it out, and Sarah slammed into the sea.

She still called out, but Marx’s cockroach worked, the voice was not loud, and she was screamed back by her.

For Sarah, the escape failure is obviously much more terrifying than the sea.

After Sarah went down, Marx slid down the rope to the escape boat. He quickly dragged Sarah onto the boat and then picked up the paddle and stroked it.

It was not far from the coast, but Marx did not choose the same direction as the cargo ship – he crossed the vertical direction of the cargo ship route, getting farther and farther, and disappeared into the dark sea.

“Why do you push me down!” Sarah, who had been squatting for a long time, couldn’t help but ask her.
